Ingredients:
- 2 ounces of Pisco (the Peruvian powerhouse that’s about to take your taste buds on a Machu Picchu adventure)
- 3/4 ounce of simple syrup (because we like our sweetness straightforward, like a llama’s gaze)
- 3/4 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice (the citrusy maestro in our Pisco symphony)
- 1 egg white (the frothy magician that turns our cocktail into a cloud of delight)
- Ice cubes (because a lukewarm Pisco Sour is as sad as a llama without a hat)

d. Add the simple syrup. Keep it simple, like a llama’s approach to life – it’s the sweet harmony in our Pisco melody.
e. Squeeze in the lime juice. Squeeze it like you’re squeezing a splash of zest into the cocktail of life – it’s the citrusy kick that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy salsa.
f. Now, for the frothy magic – add the egg white. Yes, we’re getting fancy. Shake it like you’re shaking hands with a condor who just nailed a synchronized flight routine.

h. Strain the cloud-like concoction into two glasses. Admire the frothy masterpiece; it’s the Machu Picchu of cocktails.
i. Hold your glass high, and toast to the Pisco Sour – the drink that turns every sip into a Peruvian party. “To the llamas, the lime, and the downright llama-rific – cheers!”
